I'm still the largest landholder on O-Max island, but if they're truly keeping AD, Lively, Gafford, Flagg AND PJW...yeah, O-Max needs to be moved to a new team where he has a prayer of finding some kind of opportunity.
Hardy, on the other hand, might have hopes of being the team's best guard, as the roster stands. That's scary, but trading him might actually make the team worse, depending on how the rest of the summer shakes out. We assume other moves are coming, but right now he's probably wondering if he has a chance to start.
If nothing else, Hardy has the best chance of increasing his trade value in the near term. Unfortunately he's also probably the only guy that could be dumped somewhat easily if we needed a roster spot. At least of the popular names that people have floated around as dumps (Hardy, O'Max, Powell, Martin). That's not to say that I think he'll do it and I'd bet against.
